An Atlanta teacher accused of cheating says she's ready to defend herself against claims she changed student answers.
Camille Neely was a third-grade teacher at Gideons Elementary, where a special state investigation claims widespread cheating took place in 2009 and other years. Atlanta Public Schools is trying to fire Neely for allegedly changing answers on state exams and lying about her involvement to special investigators.

Cheaters never win.
And winners never cheat.
Pigford II settlement coming right up!

Went to the source and sure enough, Ms. Neely is a minority and I’d bet 100 dollars that the students she was allegedly “helping” were also minority kids.
She didn’t teach and/or they didn’t learn and the problem is that many if not most minority children are falling further behind the norms.
Me first! It’s ok because she is a lib.
At least no child was left behind.
